Loooong Time

I have neglected to post for a couple reasons; the 1st being that I have been so consumed by my work that I have not had the chance to breath.....the 2nd being that in being so consumed by my work, nothing much has happened to write about (except a couple things...I will mention) and the 3rd and most embarrassing, I kind of lost my log in information, and never got around to recovering it so that I could sign on and post......

In the past few months, bedsides working insane hours at my bank, I have dealt with my husband being extremely sick......some mysterious infection which caused a 30 lb weight loss in a short amount of time....compounded by his bad knee, he spent 5 days in the hospital, and is still, a month later getting daily IV antibiotics. During this time, I had to bring my good old buddy Louie, a 15 year old cocker spaniel in to be put down......which was extremely difficult, but I am glad I was in there with him........

My husband is better, I still miss Louie, and I am still slammed at work, trying to hire someone currently, which should help, but until then, I might as well bring a pillow in. I can't complain though, I am happy to be in the role I am....many people are not.

Today is my birthday...so my gift to myself is to take a few minutes to myself and type about myself....selfish, heh?

Due to my schedule and my husband's illness, my house is a disaster area, my back yard has been reclaimed by weeds and vines and the front yard needs attention in a big way...we will deal with these items....one by one......I had started mulching the back yard and planting some trees as "anchors" planning on putting pathways into the mulch....I can't even see mulch right now.....2 /3rds of the yard had been mulched, but the weeds have covered it....I'm told some round up and a weed wacker will restore my mulch to it's former glory...not so sure, but we'll see. The Japanese plum and rubber trees we planted are doing well back there...albeit a little diminished in the tangle of weeds. Maybe I will have another porch party and make it a "weed the backyard" party....bring your garden gloves and I will provide beer!
Time to climb back onto the hamster wheel.......I now have my password, so I will post again and not wait 6 months........
